Patriot dot com, slash, blaze or one. Eight hundred patriot is the place to go back yesterday. After we were told by the press that this was not going to happen. This was not that that Donald Trump it's just juicing the election. These migrants would never arrive here. Yesterday, an estimated one thousand migrants from the infamous migrant Caravan stormed the border like
invaders they threw rocks and bottles at. U S border agents. In response, our agents fired, tear gas at the crowd, which gave the media the drama they have been craving. So they could write lines like this from the Associated Press quote. Children screamed and coughed in the mayhem of the tear gas and quote v headline might as well have been evil America, tear gases, babies, I've told you I I believe I said this on Fox. I know we started to actually predict that this was coming within a you, this spring. What is happening right now is the palestinian state is being made on our border and the United States of America will be made into Israel
Yesterday morning, a group of central Americans who were just fed up with the conditions in the migrant camps in Tijuana held a rally gene the United States to speed up its asylum claims process currently wes- is processing sixty to a hundred migrant asylum applications per day. However, is the March veered toward the border around a thousand people decided to make a break for it. They push past a mexican police blockade and tried to squeeze through wire scale fences as a result. The? U temporarily closed its border crossings, between San, Diego and Tijuana now Apparently a lot of the migrants impatience stems a pending deal between the USA and Mexico over how we're going to deal with the asylum seekers.
In the past. Asylum seekers have been allowed to remain in the US, while their cases are processed in the US courts. However, the trumpet duration once the caravan to stay in Mexico, while their cases are processed. She that makes sense, because if we make Mexico do that, maybe Mexico we I'll worry about their own southern border. Yesterday's protesters, they hope to make their asylum case in person to US agents before this potential deal takes effect. Now it sounds all heart wrenching, but the fact remains that the one thousand plus migrants who rush the border yesterday are trying to expedite the legal. By breaking the law, sorry, there is no magic wand, there's no solution. In foreign immigration, crush like this. Yes, The asylum application process is going to be slow,
when a mob of six thousand people show up at the border at the same time, most other countries would be just slow or slower, unless they were coming from the Middle EAST and we've seen how great vats worked out. Frankly, most countries would close their order and turn this caravan around a long time ago. Here's the truth, a okay is not heartless, but it is at least for the time being well governed by the rule of law. What is it these p people are trying to get to America, for I contend the rule of law there trees are lawless. We cannot help other people who are trying to escape lawlessness.
By becoming lawless ourself. Try crash through the border fence is not the way you immigrate to the US. It is the way you invade the. U The best of the Glenn Beck program.
Can we have the Jim Acosta Audio? You remember when last we spoke, we were still talking about Jim Acosta and what he said to the president and how he was kicked out, etcetera, etcetera. I want you to listen to what he was talking about, because what he was talking about was the migrant crisis, and this is a fascinating because it was a big deal.
Because of the elections coming up, so they they all start covering it. Then right after the election, the h, their coverage goes away, and the only thing they talk about is now that the election's passed down from doesn't care about. Conservative media doesn't care about the caravan then this morning people are talking about the caravan again because there's people running across our border and climbing fences and what we get do you believe he's conservative. They are still obsessed with this caravan. I thought you said it was only an election issue, but obviously the it's not true, if you're complaining about how much they're covering it today- and you also told us that it wasn't even going to arrive, listen to Jim Acosta from CNN on the migrant caravan. This is what was forgotten. This is what got him kicked out I think this president challenge you on on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign. In the midterms that here we go that well
If you don't mind, president, that this Van was an invasion, as you know, I consider to be a national Miss President Caravan was not an invasion. It's a it's! A group of grins moving up from Central America towards the with the US, thank you for it, and why did you? Why did you characterize it as such and I consider an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion. Do you think that you demonized immigrants not is I want them. I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. You know they have to come and Jim to a process. I wanted to be a process and I want they come in and we need the people here have played at your campaign. Wait. You know why we need the people that you, because we have hundreds of come he's moving in? We need the people for your campaign had an ad showing migrants.
Climbing over walls and show it for it, but they weren't actor, not going to be doing more. Inaccuracy will know it's true. Do you think they were actors? Are they weren't actors? They didn't come from Hollywood. These were these were people. This was an actual. You know it happened a few days ago. There hundreds of miles away that they're hundreds and hundreds of miles away that that's not an invasion honestly case. I think you stop for a second. I just wanted to ask Jim Acosta who is right here who is right here, because you, you asked the question the President told you well, we have a difference of opinion, and so you started to name your fax well there hundreds of my, els away their hundreds and hundreds of miles away. Well, they're! Here now you also said that they were not going to be climbing walls,
Well, they're doing that so, which is it CNN, which is it and if you don't think, a thousand people trying to rush our border is an invasion. What do you call it? People coming here? Standing in line being cool, yes,
gonna take awhile, but I'm gonna be cool because I can't go back home: that's not an invasion, but people trying to rush the border thousand of them, and if you think this is the end of it, your mistaken. This is the beginning. I I just want you to understand that this he is a marxist utopia. If you think these quote, migrants are really ever going to go away. I think you're mistaken. I I have this sneaking suspicion that these people are going to be kept in limbo, that these people will be kept in Mexico. Instead of having Mexico saying what we're not going to have this this separate community here, you guys have to go back, they will keep them there and they will keep them there. Why? Because
we will have a new palestinian state. We will have a new crisis on our hand and it will be about the US border and the United States will finally receive the treatment that Israel has been receiving the entire time and, if you don't believe read the headlines of how the press covered this. We were gassing babies. No, we were stopping us. One thousand people who we have no idea who they were from coming across the border. Now I understand, if you're a mom and you wanted to get your child here. I understand
at, but what responsible mother stands in the crowd and chooses the one thousand that are going to storm the gates? What responsible? Mother there is none! There is none! You can say I'm a responsible mother, I'm a responsible parent. I did make this trip this this MIKE right. You might not understand it, but things are so bad for me, but you cannot tell me that if that was the situation with you and you were with your children that you would say yeah I'm going to not wait. I'm going to rush the border, you wouldn't do it. You would not do it no responsible adult!
do it. You cannot tell me also on the other side, that if you were in honduras- and you were told America is just going to take you and they're going to take your kids and you're going to have a life in America. You cannot tell me if that's what you believed and of your New America had a porous border and they didn't care. You can't tell me you wouldn't go, especially if it was dangerous in your community because of drugs or whatever.
There was no rule of law like damn right right, get my kids out of Honduras and I'd walk, but I would not rush the border because I would think well that really going to hurt my chances, I mean you want to talk about living in the shadows. That's really going to hurt my chances of getting in legally. I have an illegitimate case. I just need to be heard I'll stand in line here. You know that's what you would do and I would do an any decent person would do You wouldn't rush the border like that, especially with the baby in your arms. So I am sorry I am the guy who got my ass kicked by a lot of people for showing compassion to the people on the border.
So I am the same guy that says these are people and we need to have compassion. However, when you, because your own problems, when your running with your baby to Russia Border to break a law, to hope that your just going to have the border guard, I don't know shoe rubber bullets at someone else. I'm sorry there is a process. You
you violated it. I I I can't have sympathy. I can feel bad for you because you're so unbelievably misguided, but I'm sorry the the tears for your plight. Now they don't come the tears for the plight of your young child. Because of what you are doing yeah, I feel bad for the child, but the child is just it's a bad parent. In my humble opinion, you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program,
like listening to this podcast. If you're not a subscriber, become one now on Itunes, but while you're there do us a favor and rate the Shell Patriot, mobile is it is a there's phone service. That will give you all of the great coverage that you that you want they're, just not going To take his mind from you and then invest that in uh, is that you don't believe in, like planned. Parenthood, patriot global, actually is going to let you invest. Your money into the causes that you believe in, but most of these cells could sell companies they they give all kinds. Money to crazy crazy causes that you work hard against. It's true. Why do that? You can go with Patriot mobile. They were compared created to solve that problem, that the only conservative cell phone company in America go to Patriot Mobile. Com, Slash blaze, get started today when you use the offer code, blaze, they're, going to leave the activation fee for up to two lines. Patriot.
Dot com, slash blaze or one eight hundred the patriot is the place to go. I was shocked at. I was shocked at the number healing rate. Four page Your short to I know I know four pages of books for pages the just of of names of books, but I wanted to bring this up here, because there is one that you really need to read and it is Top on pop the right, the rise of the fourth political theory by Alexander Do Gal she's yeah, that's because it he his the theory. Is there there's capitalism or socialism, writers, fascism, there's communism, capitalism are cut me a company's, not isn't fascism, fascism- and this is this- is the fourth he says all three of those fail. We
need a fourth- and he has the fourth and when you read it, you will understand what Russia is doing and it is terrifying literally end of days stuff? He is mixing this- and this is the guy who is designed the ukrainian or crimean policy for Putin. He is literally mixing in end of times theology, so he is and he's not a religious dude, but he knows Russians are and so
he's mixing in the end of days, we have to bring about a global bloodbath to bring about the end of days. So we can restart in this new fourth political theory where Russia will rule the world. It's terrifying, terrifying made just a quick point against Alexander. Do can hear about capitalism failing yeah, so an american high school students who works fifteen hours a week. It makes a minimum wage is among the top twenty percent of wage earners in the world, which is In capitalism's failed you're telling me it's failed after that, a high school student again fifteen hours a week, men mom wage top. Twenty percent of wage earners in the world.
I mean you know again: we are so blessed to live here of all the problems that we have. They were just throwing it away and it and it's it's not just throwing it away. It's a lot of people who are intentionally trying to destroy it like Alexander Dugan, and by the way, I speaking of capitalism? I saw this story today and I thought of you still forty million people with diabetes will be left without insulin by two thousand and thirty saying that by twenty either be seventy nine million adults with type two diabetes that are expected to need insulin, to manage their condition. If current levels of access remain, only half of them will be able to get an attic, adequate supply, they're projecting that is going to be a huge growth of type two diabetes in Africa and Asia, blah blah blah and type two diabetes is in that because of food. Yes, that's partly caused by overheating one of those things. That sounds a
the bad hey, but first of all, I'm. I have a lot of faith that the free market will provide the insulin with the needed to. This is why I said that we're talking about ten years from now eleven years from now. If we know there are going to be forty million people. You don't think Elizabeth and say we need to up the insulin right unless they here it in another way completely and you don't need insulin. I love this to magic conditions. If current levels of access, Remain well, it's not going to because of the capitalist system right
it will actually guideline, if you lose the capitalist system yeah I mean that's one of the things they have there's a study that came out and it was all over the media the last week or so that was talking about how scary it was that keep you know. Cancer now is rising two levels: it's not one of the highest killers. You know what we cancer now the biggest killer in Australia ahead of heart disease is the World Health Organization Board and we went and we go over this by the way. The tour is happening this week. We're going to Tampa and are and now, if you want to come, join us Glenn, Beck com tour. Let me see your tickets now by the way, we're in we're in Tampa on Friday and then Orlando on Saturday, and I've got a pair of tickets for each of those shows if you're in

It's that's a lot of fun happening this Friday and Saturday Tampa and Orlando get part of the show. We focus on some of the good things that are happening in the world that we never hear about it and the cancer rates. We, you know we go over, that you know, there's so much improvement in that world. It's it's mind boggling, and what that? What the? When they dig into this report, what's actually happening they're saying it's the biggest killer now in Australia. That sounds terrible. Well, that's because people are living so much longer, they're living essentially long enough to get cancer right. There they're now getting to the point where the you don't get cancer at that. You know these types of cancer. You don't typically get it. Fifty years old and people were dying at sixty. So they weren't getting cancer. They were dying of something else. Now,
the eighty and ninety and the developing cancer very late in life and we're acting like it's this tragedy. Will he just lived an extra thirty years? This is not a negative. This is a positive in the same thing with with the diabetes stuff and and obesity. Well, they came out and said that you know will be sees no bigger problem than hunger. We, act as if obesity is a problem? If we can get to a point where we all choose to die, that's a great world right where we all have to make bad decisions to die. We don't just die because of things. We can't control if we can get to a point where we all have to choose to be fat, lazy, pieces of crap and that's what eventually causes are death now I hope we don't choose that of course, but but we will, but that's a better out Come then, like you know the plague. Yes, like this or starvation starvation, which is the most one of the most brutal ways to die
brutal way to die. So this you know, there's some really good things that are happening in the world. We just choose not to notice we just choose not to notice them. You know I've. I've got a couple of books, I'm gonna take a quick break and I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back and give you some of the highlights of this list I'll post later today of the books that I have read that that I would recommend the red few others that I would not recommend but I'll give you some of the books that I've read that I really recommend in different categories, but but one of them is What is it in light mint now? What is the name of that one by Steven pinker Stew? He I believe that is it thing on its yeah in light meant now by Steven Pinker
and that is that's an amazing book, incredible it in it. It is all about because it's it's it's not what you think. It's not what you think. There's another book called it's better than it looks by Gregg Easterbrook, If you read that one parts of it yeah yeah he's really smart, she's, really great and you you look at. Is it wait a minute? It looks really bad. His point is yes, it does look really ad, but that's because nobody showing you the rest of the story and when you start to see how much progress we have made. Can you stop concentrating only on our problems, all of a sudden and you start to say, wait a minute wait a minute: let's not throw this away. This is actually really good. This is really good things going on we're being taught in school. Think of this
your children are being taught. America is bad. It's a racist, horrible place, it's nothing, but a killing machine and capitalism is starving people to death and taking their money. None of those things are true. None of those things are true. Now you could make the case that those things are true. If you eve out the other side of the story. You can equip your key it, with some really good stuff about capitalism, but I would suggest that you start with it's it's. What is it it's it's better than it looks
Gregg Easterbrook you're, listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Patriot mobile is it is a there phone service give you all of the great coverage that you that you want they're, just not going to take his eyes from you and can invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like planned parenthood, Patriot Mo well, actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in, but most of these cells could sell companies they they give all kinds money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.

brush. Please get started today when you use the offer code blaze they're, going to leave the activation fee for up to two lines. Patriot dot com, slash blaze or one eight hundred, the patriot is the place to go. These are some of the books that I have read in the last year that I buy a highly recommend, I'm in the middle of Kate Morton's, the clock makers, daughter. This is kind of a a search through history this woman in present day, England, she is working at a conservatory and she is she opens up. I think it's a satchel of some sort of a satchel and she has to catalog everything and she's captivated by a picture that is in there. She remembers that in a story that her mother used to tell, but she thought that this was a story that was just her mother's story. So how
This picture of this old House get in there. It's exactly what you saw so she starts his investigation and it goes back about a hundred years. You see what is happening, I don't know how it ends yet, but it's really a lot of fun. If specially, if you're like you, know history hunts, it's just a really good story. There is a book called White rose Black Forest which I read. I think in the spring and love this book. This one is about a an allied soldier world war. Two, And he has to fly in an parachute into the black forest all by himself, and he's going in as a german soldier, and he has to kill one guy on a certain date. He's going to be in a certain place. He's got, kill him while he goes in and something
turns to shoot. I can't remember exactly, but he lands in the in the forest, and I think he breaks either one or, I think maybe both of his legs and he passes out and he's out in the snow at night in the lack forest. Well, this woman, this german woman, who lives in a cabin there in the forest she happens to be, you know, be walking in the forest. We, you know you you know, but he doesn't know that she was going actually Taylor Self, that night she sees him unconscious. She takes care of him and then drags him back to the cabin where she nurses him back to health, well she's trapped, and he can't move because of his legs. What she can't tell him is that she's anti and herb biggest foe is the head of the ss in her small little town and they
just destroyed her family and she hates the Nazis, and that's why she was going to kill herself, but can't say this because he's a german soldier. But she starts to realize I don't think he's a german soldier. He can tell her I'm not, I soldier, so it's this game back and forth the whole time this mental game and how it ends is just it's fantastic that is called the White rose black Forrest, Robert Harris wrote a book if you're into tack and see what's coming, he wrote a book called the fear index. It's a novel. It's great. It starts with the murder in Geneva. This guy, he was working for us. Cern any had this theory that he could make an a I e that could predict the you know, habits and he used as an example. We could predict this.
Stock market and it could actually make money. So this guy from Wall Street comes in and says hey. I want to hire you for this. I want to. I want you to build this for me, and so he does well, it turn now that he actually creates ai and then it starts to move into a GI and its goal is to make money. Well fear, don't fear the machine, fear the goals, its goal is to make money. It now is taking on a life of its own, and it is ling, money, n, but like plane, crashes are happening just after the stock is dumped and it's no one's in charge of it. They can't seem to shut it down, they don't know if they want to shut it down, as the guy starts to figure things out now he smeared in the press he set up. Is this a person? Is this ai? It's uh
tastic story. There's a may crazy audio from the LAN must, because you get today on the I a I where he's talking about, I mean he absolutely in this world, and you you've talked about him, as you know, being very skeptical of how this is happening. He seemingly making major moves to try to make sure that we don't know yes and yet do it real heavenly, dove ethically yeah. I know he's he started a huge foundation to do it, but he doesn't believe it'll be done nor to why you can't put this genie back in the bottle and somebody somewhere is going to go I wonder what would happen you know and and that's the Robert Harris, but most of the New Dan Brown book that came out this year. Origin. That's along the same vein, and it's really really good. If you know somebody that is into history, there's a few things that I that I highly recommend the new Reagan
by Bob Spitz, we just had him on as a podcast over the weekend. Listen to that podcast, it's fantastic! You! My kids, enjoy this podcast, really great, really great podcast great book called Reagan by Bob Spitz he went in and he he was not a fan. He's a guy he's done the Beatles think the stones I can't remember he's got a long list of he writes the ultimate biography of people and he springs into the new spring. I'm not sure he works with springs. He he. He writes these books, the people that change culture and are deeply,
loved by a group of people, the only person he said he was with his wife and he was like. Who can I write about next and she said Reagan, and he said absolutely not. He didn't like Reagan at all, but he decided that half the country loved him. There has to be something, and so he went an he started to track and he met with people that have never been interviewed before in his home town. That knew him and his family. He went in and he had acts as to Reagan's personal papers. They're, not even in the library. Ok there, his personal papers, One other author has had access to these, but he left them sealed and the things that he found in those papers just awesome, and he
understood and really began. He loves Reagan now still says I disagree with his policies, but I love this guy. It's a great a great book. Another one called the fighting Hitler. This was actually this. This is a an unfinished book. It just stops it in the Bmw towards the end but it is the best history book on Germany. I have ever seen. The reason why it stopped is the guy escaped from Germany came over. Here became one of the leading authors and leading a authorities on Hitler himself. He was writing it in Germany as a as a missive, to the w saying. Look, you don't understand our history, you don't understand. What's happening, you don't understand what he's doing and
Oh! This is affecting even my friends pay attention. It is fascinating. It's called defying Hitler. Another book that I read over the summer by Thomas Cahill is how the Irish saved civilization, I even know why I picked this up, but I picked this book up and I loved it. You will, because of the way Ireland was a lot of the books when Europe was burning, were taken to Ireland and left in Ireland. So a lot of the knowledge of that should have been lost was preserved by the Irish, but also the holes story of Saint Patrick. I
find any snakes. But do you know what he did drive out of Ireland slavery? She was a slave who was captured. I think in great Britain, and the IRA
were horrible slave owners and they would just come and they would just capture people and they would take him and they sell them into slavery. Well, Saint Patrick. He escapes one night just because he heard the voice of God and he just walked. He gets he walks all the way across Ireland gets to a ship providence kicks in. He goes back to England. He never once did have anything to do with with the Irish again and he's prompted you gotta go back, and so he starts changing people's hearts, one town at the time, one church at a time in in Ireland. It's a great great story
A couple of other real quick if you're interested in tech, the tech wise family by Andy Crouch, is a great book. This is for, if you're thinking, what do I do? How do I protect my family, the tech, wise family far as a I a s. I a g, I our final invention by James. I think it's Barrett is really good. There are three of them here that are really really good. That are, I think, are, must reads if you want to understand. What's coming our final invention, then MAX Tegmark life three point: oh and then Brett King, wrote augmented. All three of those are really good, and I think it's like three point. Oh, that talks about the industries of the future that will survive,
Then one more category and I've got a lot more books but I'll The mall online. This just real quick highlights in the social Sciences how to win how to win friends and influence people. Started.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program and don't forget rate hikes on high to there's some new patents that have just been issued to Google. That is really it's. It's quite interesting. Patents tell us a Google is developing smart home products that are capable of eavesdropping on us throughout our home in or to learn more about us and better target us with advertising. It goes much further than the current Google home speaker that is promoted answer our questions and provide useful information and the
Google owned nest. Thermostat that measures environmental conditions in our home. It now comes with a microphone good. You have to walk over there and turn the little dial exactly right. What on your phone, which would also do now? What the patents to scribe are sensors and cameras mounted in every room to follow us an analyze. What we're doing throughout our home, they describe in Patton's how the cameras can even recognize the images on up up a person's t, shirt, and if it's a movie star or a singer, it will alert the person by the way. Did you know that person is in a new movie? Oh by the way you want tickets to their concert. It also connects to the person's browsing history. One patent reads according to embody:
it's of this disclosure, a smart home environment may provide with smart device environment policies that use art devices to monitor activities within the smart device environment, then report on these activities and provide smart device control based on these activities, so they're monitoring us and reporting back on what weird
waiting sounds great, we'll be in your home suit. So it's really it's exciting, Charlie Ward Cell, on before he's a reporter for Buzzfeed that talks about is a technology reporter yeah and he he was talking about the new facebook thing that they've just release, which is basically like a screen with a camera that you're kind of just like Kelly, can Alexa with the camera screen almost anything and he he called today and in home panopticon which, if you know, if you ever been to eastern state penitentiary in Philly. You know this, but it's like a you know: it's. It was an old style. I didn't know that, for that was that's yeah yeah! That's what that one is
But they did it's fascinating place to go watch. It was an old style design of a prison. It was. It was actually deemed cool and unusual punishment, so they had to stop using it. And but the idea was you eat everything you do all the time is always seem. So all of the cells were made like in a like in a what is the apple, the the the the new apple building. That's a circle: oh yeah! Ok! So it's a giant circle. The prison is a giant circle, an all of the cells. Facing the center of that circle, the guard hands in the center of that circle on every floor, and so they can watch everybody at all times, and so it was great for the prison it was deemed cruel and on usual punishment, because you had no privacy so.
Somebody to say. Oh Facebook's just just released a panopticon cool and unusual punishment. It was not meant as a compliment yeah, but it's true. We don't. Even you know his point in the in the story which I thought was interesting was we like? Facebook gets a good amount of heat from the media and from consumers about being creepy right, like they're, just like they're doing stuff, that's creepy, it's weird this out, but we do nothing about it. We don't actually care, we keep saying we care, we don't actually care, so they I mean think about face look who's in the middle of not only all the stuff that they dealt with with the elections and all of that, but all the privacy stuff all of the the the the mistakes and and all that they've been deal. For multiple years and in the middle of that environment they introduce for consumers a mean and camera for you to talk to.
Every room in your home. All the time and the expected to be well received, it seems to make I mean. That is the idea that we are. Why is China? Why is China spending so much money themselves building this system when we are building it for them? So in case you do. No, the the social credit monitoring system in China in all Beijing citizens in twenty. Twenty will have this and it is it it made. It monitors T2 million citizens two thousand and twenty it's going to be nationwide. It it supposed to turn on in twenty twenty but they have already started it with. I think twenty two million and it it monitors everything and if you get great social credit, if you're talking to the right people
all online if you're shopping at the right stores. If you're, you know, pay your bills on time, you know if you're not, walking? All of that? All of that you're not talking partially to others. All it goes into your social media score and he You have a social media score if it's in the green zone you're great, but if it's in the yellow zone, which already ill seven million people Eleven million and that's just flights just at eleven million people who have been blocked from booking flights for in high speed. Train trips have been blocked over three million just upgrade, so you want to go anywhere to be a business class. No, you can't your social score, isn't good enough. Can they just done this? This is a small scale. It's not to be fully on. You know on earth, until twenty
twenty one but they're going to have everybody in the middle of the system. Listen to this quote. Listen! This quote quote when they want to blacklist you. They have the people they choose and say that are untrustworthy citizens' quote be unable to move even a single step. End quote according to the government's plan. This is what they're in admitting to. If your black blacklist can't move a single step and by the way, there's no a two there's no way to fight this. If you're chinese, you get it you're on the list doesn't matter by the way it's going to monitor if you're, giving blood donations that's! What a good citizen does your living a healthy lifestyle eating and exercising? Are you volunteering or do you do volunteer work 'cause? That's what a good citizen does
if you violate traffic laws, smoke or drink or speak poorly about the government, that's what a bad citizen does yeah and what they're saying you know, because how can you ever tell right like when you're saying something that pisses often a Thor tarian government, it's almost impossible and what it what they think it's going to do is yeah a lot of people are gonna get burned by this, but the larger scale of it is people will just be so on involved in politics, because they're terrified that their daily lives will be destroyed, that they just won't pay attention at all and stay out of it. No matter what and what was that I mean you know they talked about that got. You know me, knighted states, being a government that is only can only work with a moral and engaged people right,
It's the exact opposite: they want to create a an entire population that is completely disengaged so that they can do whatever they want whenever they well. I think that works out fine here too, because that's what's happening to us, we're so tired of this. We gladly gladly give up a bit of our freedom for something just to take the same handle, so we don't have to worry about it anymore. That's what they're creating that's what they're creating and we want. We have a thirst for it. You know, yeah, look at look at that. Look at this.

Don't do it. I mean I yeah. I just don't know how you live life without that anymore, I honestly don't know how you do. I use Google.
